Re: Wlug Digest, Vol 4, Issue 5

Hello, all. My name's Carlton and I figured this is probally the best place to post this note. My friends and I have recently got distcc working (a distributed compiler using gcc-3.3.2). We've currently got 7 (maybe 8?) computers running the distcc daemon right now. Basically, when any one of us compiles something the processess are distributed amongst the computers on the network running distcc. So, my question is, is anyone interested in joining our little group? I figure the more linboxes the merrier. We are also in the process of setting up a couple of G5's with cross compiling on distcc so any Mac guys out there are welcome to (but Linux/BSD guys are most welcome ^_^). Feel free to reply, sageman(a)wpi.edu, if you are interested. We are also looking at getting some other stuff distributed if at all possible but really haven't started looking anywhere yet. If anyone else some ideas of possible distributed software we can run, that information would also be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. Oh, and yes, the distcc webpage is here: http://distcc.samba.org/. - Carlton C. Stedman II

Re: [Wlug] how to setup wireless network for WPI campus

by Steve Freitag

I am not a Mandrake user and I don't know anything about the WPI wireless network. However, here are some commands I have used with the Knoppix distro to connect to my home wireless network using a SSID and WEP: iwconfig eth0 nick "MyLaptop" essid "MyLan" key 1234567890abcd rate auto ifconfig eth0 up pump -i eth0 pump -i eth0 --status ifconfig eth0 Note that the first iwconfig command sets a SSID to MyLan and the WEP key to 1234567890abcd Also, your wireless card may not be on eth0.

Re: [Wlug] how to setup wireless network for WPI campus

by Zhiwei Ren

hi, thank you for the respond. My card is Netgear 802.11b PCMCIA MA401, it is supported by linux. Because I can use wireless under those wireless network which doesn't require SSID or WEP. So I think I should ask my question in this way: How and where to set the configuration for SSID and WEP in Mandrake linux? Ren On Sun, 8 Feb 2004, Gregory Boyce wrote: > What model card?

Wow. I just had a WLUG reply put on hold status due to a suspicious header. This is the first time this has happened to me. What's up? Thanks, Bill
